The Battle of the Kings map presented the audience with a majestic and magnificent scene. In the depths of the endless universe, two Golden Eagle motherships were speeding through space side by side, surrounded by a brilliant galaxy that disappeared in a flash. The two contestants each stood on the spacious roof of the starship, giving the audience the feeling that they were standing at the peak of the galaxy, about to perform an exciting battle of the century.
Of course, the two contestants did not think that way. There was no air in space, which required them to use part of their energy to regulate their breathing. Secondly, there was no gravity on the roof of the starship, which required a higher level of gravity balance. In other words, this map had indirectly weakened Ding Meng and Guan Wuming's strength.
"Everyone, stand up and welcome Boss onto the stage. The champion will definitely be Boss!"
"My favorite crazy brother, I'm here again. I didn't expect you to have already entered the Battle of the Kings!"
"The payout for this match is very high. Boss, 1: 3. I bet 100 Star Coins."
"F * ck, does this mean that the damn Bald Head has a higher chance of winning?"
"Yes, Guan Wuming's payout is 1: 1.5. It looks like the officials are more optimistic about him."
"Is it because his surname is Guan?"
"I don't care about your dad. The champion will definitely be Boss!"
"It's 12 o 'clock now. I'm the champion!"
"I'm the champion!"
"You're all idiots!"
“66666！”
…
The starship was still speeding through space. Guan Wuming carefully sized up Ding Meng. "It's been a while!"
His first sentence meant that he had already investigated Ding Meng's identity. At the same time, it was also the first time he looked at Ding Meng in the eye. This was because Ding Meng's achievements were not only reflected in this year's carnival. Just last night, Guan Wuming had sent an emergency encrypted message to his wristband. It briefly listed all of Ding Meng's major achievements.
First, there was the incident on the Expedition. Then, he returned to the Federation and killed more than ten Warlords. Then, he killed more than ten Warlords on Planet Poison Dragon. Then, he defeated Fang Lin, Xie Feili, Su Mingling, and the others on Planet Thousand Sails. He encountered Yuan Lie in the Devouring World. Then, he broke into Rainforest Planet with his own strength, killed a group of Hidden Front members, killed General Gong Ping, returned to the Empire with the identity of Ancestral Dragon, and broke into the Apocalypse building to take away Ji Chenxue …
These messages were very short, but each of them contained a huge amount of information.
Now that they had entered the Fengyun Convention's Battle of the Kings, Ding Meng had eliminated another group of strong players: Ling Min, Du Xing, Ling Xingqi, Lei Jingtian, and Dream Return. Finally, he would meet Guan Wuming in the finals.
In Guan Wuming's eyes, Ding Meng's glorious achievements were not what was worthy of his attention. Instead, it was Ding Meng's speed of growth. This was a young man who was barely forty years old, yet he was so terrifying.
Ding Meng also replied to Guan Wuming, "It's been a while!"
Guan Wuming said, "Madam and the others miss you very much."
The meaning of "they" was very broad. At least, it included Long Lin, Angel, and Xin Zhiyao. This was very likely Guan Xinqing's intention.
Sure enough, Guan Wuming explained, "They hope that you can come back and visit when you're free. After all, they were the ones who sent you out."
If it weren't for the fact that he had to track down the whereabouts of Little Rascal's bracers, Ding Meng would very likely have agreed. Guan Wuming being able to walk to the finals actually meant one thing, and that was that the great god, Chuangyu, had finally surfaced.
Guan Xinqing definitely did not just want the fame and fortune of being the Battlecraft Combat Champion. He definitely had a bigger goal. This was the same as the nature of Madam Somansa's recruitment of so many experts. These top nobles definitely knew some secrets, which was why they were recruiting at the Battlecraft Combat Carnival.
Ding Meng calmly replied, "I'm used to being idle. As long as I'm free, I'll go and visit them."
At this moment, in the Guan family's mansion, Guan Xinqing and the others were also watching the live broadcast. Of course, they were hoping that Long Yu would win. Furthermore, they were quite confident in Long Yu.
However, there was someone who did not think so. This person was Angel. She had already bet 200 billion on Ding Meng. That time on the Beidou planet, Ding Meng had brought her along in a wild gamble to win. This time, Angel also bet that Ding Meng would win in the end.
I'm not betting on money, I'm betting on luck. Ding Meng, that brat, has all kinds of heaven-defying luck!
The starship was still advancing at an extremely fast speed, but the auras on Guan Wuming and Ding Meng's bodies had already started to rise for the first time. Once it rose, it broke through the 100 billion threshold. Furthermore, Ding Meng could sense the extremely cold and sinister aura on the other party. Jun Ling was not spouting nonsense. This Guan Wuming was a Demons warrior, but one could not tell from the outside.
Suddenly, Guan Wuming leaped up from the opposite side, bringing with him a sharp aura as he pounced towards Ding Meng. Ding Meng similarly leaped over the dragon's gate, slashing out with a backhand saber strike. Both of them had the idea of fighting head-on.
"Pa pa pa pa pa pa — —"
A series of rapid sounds rang out in mid-air between the two starships. Because they were moving too quickly, it felt as if the two of them had exchanged blows dozens of times in the air. Multiple halos spread out in circles, and when they scraped against the roof of the starship, they created a series of strong electric sparks. It made one's scalp go numb.
Many of the audience were still clear about this point. The outer layer of this kind of starship was made of super alloy, and it was often able to withstand various types of shipboard weapons. It could even withstand the bombardment of orbital artillery.
However, when the halos of energy scraped past, there were actually scratches on the roof of the starship. One could imagine the strength of these two top espers. Even the fluctuations of their attacks were so terrifying. It would be difficult for the so-called battle saints or battle gods to even get close to them.
"This is a real battle between kings!"
Ling Xingqi, who was in the Ling family's living room, couldn't help but sigh. She guessed that both sides were just warming up and had not really used their full strength.
She was not the only one who sighed. In the Xia family's living room, Eisendell also felt dizzy. The battle between Ding Meng and Guan Wuming was at a level that other contestants could not hope to reach.
The other members of the Xia family were also there, especially Eisendell's cousins. They had long been dumbfounded. Although they were ordinary people, they still had a certain level of understanding of origin ability users. Not to mention other things, just the fact that they could stand on the roof of a starship in space and fight was already a miracle.
Looking at Owens' shocked face, Eisendell couldn't help but mock him. "Hehe, you looked down on him in the past, saying that he was a wanted criminal. This wanted criminal is already standing at the pinnacle of space combat."
These words made Owens' face turn red. At the same time, it also made Taylor's face turn red. This was because he was also a star in space combat, but compared to Ding Meng, he was not even qualified to carry his shoes. This was because he knew very well how glorious it was to be able to stand on the highest stage of a battle between kings.
At this time, Ding Meng and Guan Wuming had already fought for 40 rounds in mid-air. Anyway, neither of them could do anything to the other. After exchanging a palm strike, the two of them flew back to the roof.
Guan Wuming was incomparably astonished. He felt that he wasn't exchanging blows with Ding Meng just now. Ding Meng's reaction was quick, his foundation was solid, and his attacks were experienced. He was clearly an old monster who was over 400 years old.
A normal fight would not have been able to determine the outcome. Guan Wuming flipped his wrist and fiercely struck out with his palm. The image of a giant dragon lit up space, startling the starship. The whole world looked askance.
Ding Meng was also surprised. This was clearly the Black Dragon Wave of the Demons, but why was the dragon white in color and mixed with divine light energy?
There was no time to think about the reason. Ding Meng also raised his left palm toward the sky. The giant dragon immediately sank into his palm and completely drilled into his body in less than two seconds.
However, in the next moment, Ding Meng's right palm struck forward. A fierce tiger head image drilled out of his palm and roared back at Guan Wuming.
Guan Wuming also stretched out his left palm and let the Holy Tiger Yang Palm sink into his body. At this point, there was no more movement from the two of them.
However, their eyes were filled with surprise. They did not speak, but their eyes expressed the same thing. "Diamond Star Melting Art?"
Lan Bing turned to look at Jun Ling. "What's going on?"
Jun Ling revealed a blank expression for the first time. "I don't know. When I fought with him, he was indeed a true warrior of the Demons. However, I don't know why he can also use divine light energy."
Ji Chenxue sighed. "Perhaps only the Princess and the others can explain it."
At this moment, only Ding Meng knew that they were in big trouble this time. Compared to Du Xing's invisibility, Ling Xingqi's bravery, Lei Jingtian's Divine Light Halberd, and Nanxun's transformational telekinesis, Guan Wuming was many times more powerful than them. This was because Guan Wuming was a dual cultivator of the Demons and Gods. He had both the Demons' techniques and Mou Xing's techniques. This was a true opponent in the truest sense of the word.
Ding Meng decided to take the initiative and attack. He opened his palm and summoned a Divine Light Singularity. The Singularity immediately transformed into a shining longsword.
Guan Wuming's expression changed slightly. Ding Meng's aura suddenly doubled, and his Origin Energy Index reached 200 billion points.
Ding Meng flew up once again. This time, his speed was very slow, but it was also very elegant. In mid-air, he lightly stabbed out with his sword.
What surprised the audience was that Guan Wuming did not counterattack or parry. Instead, he slowly retreated. There was a serious expression on his face. He was also an expert, and he knew how terrifying this sword was. This was because the frequency at which Ding Meng's sword tip trembled was too high. It was clear that there were many hidden moves behind it.
With this retreat, Ding Meng landed on the rooftop. Once again, she gently thrust her sword forward. This thrust produced sword shadows, and three identical light swords chased after Guan Wuming. Furthermore, they were all coming from different angles.
This was the Heavenly Sword Thirteen Styles that Teacher Zhao Yue had imparted to him. Back then, it had been used to great effect against Towering Sky Peak. However, today, it was not as effective against Guan Wuming. This was because Guan Wuming had made the correct choice. He supported himself with one hand and soared into the sky like an eagle spreading its wings. In an instant, he had escaped the confinement force field set up by the sword style.
Of course, at this moment, Ding Meng's real body also appeared in the sky and stabbed down at Guan Wuming's back.
"Ding —"
However, the light swords did not stab into Guan Wuming's back. Instead, they pierced into an exquisitely designed protective crown.
Guan Wuming's reaction could not be said to be slow. However, Ding Meng twisted his wrist, and the light swords instantly turned into dozens of light swords, forming a ring of light. With another twist of his arm, the ring of light turned into a whirlpool of swords, stirring up the protective shield and causing it to make clinking sounds. Sparks constantly flew from the surface of the shield.
For a moment, Ding Meng actually gained the upper hand, pressing Guan Wuming down continuously.
